Alisha Grove

Alisha Grove supports the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation in managing critical procurement activities essential to sustaining U.S. military aviation readiness. While her formal title is not specified, her role centers on acquiring high-reliability aircraft components, subsystems, and auxiliary equipment required for mission-critical flight operations. She engages in complex acquisition planning for parts subject to technical obsolescence, long lead times, and stringent military specifications, ensuring uninterrupted supply chain continuity for fighter jets, transport aircraft, and rotary-wing platforms. Her work directly enables DLA Aviation’s mission to maintain operational availability through proactive logistics and inventory resilience strategies. Grove collaborates with a diverse base of aerospace manufacturers and specialty suppliers, primarily engaged in the production of aircraft parts, engine components, and avionics systems. Though specific contractor names are not disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 defense suppliers possessing AS9100 certification and relevant ITAR compliance. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical validation, quality assurance, and supply chain traceability, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and compliance with military standards. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and supply chain breadth rather than socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a mission-first approach where performance and availability take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. Grove’s primary focus lies in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, followed by 334511 for avionics and navigation systems and 336412 for aircraft engine components. She routinely procures flight control actuators, fuel system valves, electrical connectors, power distribution units, and specialized hardware critical to aircraft functionality. Her expertise spans the lifecycle management of legacy and modern aviation systems, with deep familiarity in military aerospace engineering standards and obsolescence mitigation practices.
